As the bears of Katmai National Park & Preserve in Southwest Alaska pack on few extra pounds before their long winter’s nap, the folks that run park think its okay to make a sport of fat shaming them March Madness style. Katmai National Park is asking people to vote which bear has gotten the fattest over the summer and the winner of each bracket moves up until a fattest bear champion is crowned. Voting takes place on their Facebook page, endsing Tuesday, October 8. If you seriously don’t care that these magestic forest beasts could have their doughy feelings hurt then go ahead and vote for Chunk because Chunk is definitley the fattest:
Round 4 of Fat Bear Week features the competition's Jr. league. They may be young but they have worked to almost double their body weights since the spring. Vote for your favorite gargantuan glow-up on Katmai's Facebook page.#FatBearWeek #BearCams https://t.co/jI1lvCSatz pic.twitter.com/cQZRpwpabL
